CARSTAR Spring Valley Auto Body opens in South Carolina

CARSTAR, North America’s largest network of independently owned collision repair facilities, announced the opening of CARSTAR Spring Valley Auto Body in Columbia, South Carolina.

Father-son duo Don Purcell Sr. and Don Purcell Jr., owners of CARSTAR Spring Valley Auto Body, are now the third CARSTAR location in South Carolina. Don Purcell Sr. first opened his facility in 1983 with only one employee. Now, this newly renovated repair center has become a family affair for the father-son pair as they provide expert services to the Columbia community.

“Keeping our family values and commitment to our customers was extremely important to both my dad and I,” says Don Purcell Jr. “There is nowhere else that an independent store owner can have access to this much support, resources and buying power, but also has the same values as us. We are excited to be joining the CARSTAR family and know Columbia will be as well once they see the added benefits it brings to our community.”

“Many of our franchise partners hold incredible sentiment towards their business and hope to pass it along to their children someday,” says Michael Macaluso, President, CARSTAR. “The Purcell’s are a perfect example of this compassion and CARSTAR is proud to support these families as they look to grow their operations, while still holding onto the foundational values that built their collision repair facility.”

The Purcell’s are invested and active in their community. Aimed to continue their support for various organizations, CARSTAR Spring Valley Auto Body contributes to local fairs, 4-H clubs, youth basketball, youth soccer, the local aviation association and more.

Please join us in welcoming Don Purcell Sr. and Don Purcell Jr. in the CARSTAR family.
